HUB review of 9950X3D2, I already read the article and the CPU is pretty pointless. Also, GN got blacklisted by AMD, they didn't even get a product briefing.

EDIT: not just GN, per VCZ summary:

Gamers Nexus reacted strongly after being denied a sample, but it was not the only major outlet left out. ComputerBase, one of the first publications to confirm the dual 3D V-Cache SKU, was also denied. TechPowerUp, HardwareLuxx, eTeknix, PC Watch, and several other outlets appear to be in the same...

The cpu is exactly what I thought it would be. AMD has said for a long time that it didn’t make sense to release a cpu like this, but people kept wanting one. Now it’s out, carries a premium cpu price (2 perfectly binned ccds and with vcache on both) and is exactly what amd said it would be.

It has a reasonable gain in the very few select tasks that can use all the cores and that are memory/cache dependant. Other than that niche situation, it is the same performance as already released CPUs, but at a higher price tag. A pass for 99% of people.
